Fire displaces Pembroke Pines family

December 10, 2012

PEMBROKE PINES — One person escaped a bedroom fire that firefighters were able to extinguish within minutes Monday morning, authorities said.

No one was injured but, because of the damage, a family of three – a husband, a wife and their teen-age daughter – will be displaced, said Al DiLiello, spokesman for the Pembroke Pines Fire Department.

Firefighters responded to the call at about 11 a.m. in the 16100 block of Southwest Fourth Street, DiLiello said.

The fire was confined to the bedroom, caused approximately $40,000 in damage and appears to be accidental, Di Liello said.
